Insulin is cheap elsewhere.

> U.S. manufacturer gross prices per 100 international units of insulin were on average 9.71 times those in OECD comparison countries combined.

It is 10 times more expensive in USA.

According to ceicdata, annual household income per capita in USA is 10.6 times more than in Mexico. Even with prices 10 times higher it is slightly more affordable in USA.

Isn't Mexico a part of OECD?
